Should work. Few things to keep in mind:
1. Performance over USB 2.0 is going to be abysmal. You're probably looking
at a maximum of around 30-35MB/s, when a RAID0 of two Vertexes is capable of
sequential performance of around 400MB/s reads and 200MB/s writes. I would
encourage you to look at an add-on card--
yeah, I was afraid of that, so I am better off taking out one of the
HDs with stored Media on them, and putting them in the external drive bay.
even something with a Silicon Image 3132 chip for $25 will provide
vastly superior performance.
I have one of those = Rosewill 4 port and I have never been able to
get it to work in any computer. The driver just isn't accepted.
But come to think of it I do have a esata port in my motherboard....
do they require a special external enclosure or do you just plug them
into the drive?
